Summary
Dominick Ugas is a bilingual Jr. Full Stack Developer in New York with four years of experience building Ruby on Rails and JavaScript applications and currently shaping product features and architecture at Global Charter Services. He brings a unique background from Le Cordon Bleu and hospitality leadership, where running a kitchen taught him creative problem-solving, rapid iteration, and deadline-driven delivery that translate directly into shipping software. As a technical coach and guest instructor at Flatiron School, he reinforced fundamentals in Ruby, JavaScript, and React while mentoring students in debugging and best practices. His prior roles in retail management and as a chef honed team communication, delegation, and customer-focused design—skills he leverages when translating business needs into technical requirements. Comfortable working in small, cross-functional teams, he pairs hands-on coding with a bias for clarity and maintainable, DRY solutions. He often applies the discipline of culinary workflows to engineering processes, turning ambiguous requirements into dependable product outcomes.
